Psalm 35:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ But when I stumbled, they celebrated and gathered together—
    they gathered together against me!
    Strangers^[a] I didn’t know tore me to pieces and wouldn’t quit.
¹⁶ They ridiculed me over and over again,
    like godless people would do,
    grinding their teeth at me.

¹⁷ How long, my Lord, will you watch this happen?
    Rescue me from their attacks;
    rescue my precious life from these predatory lions!
